Biography
Gisela was the daughter of Harthacnut and the sister of Guthred, and her family resided in Cumberland. She first met Uhtred of Bebbanburg in 878, when her brother named Uhtred the commander of his army, and the two of them married to secure Uhtred's loyalty to Northymbre. She was devastated when Guthred betrayed Uhtred to Alferic, but the two were eventually reunited when Uhtred escaped form Iceland. The two of them had three children, Uhtred, Stiorra, and Osbert, and she died in 892 while giving birth to their fourth child.
